I just found out a few days ago that Infinity Ward, the creators of Call of Duty, is coming out with a new map pack. Once again Xbox is buying an earlier release date so their gamers can play the new maps a month before anyone else. I really hate this, why would Microsoft waste their money like this just to have their gamers play overly priced maps before PS3. It’s not as if they’re going to gain more Xbox users because they can buy a map pack. This doesn’t affect the fact that the PS3 is better than Xbox, no matter what Xbox does. Anyway the new downloadable content is going to be insane and the new maps are even better than the first ones.

Infinity Ward is calling this DLC the “resurgence pack” and it’s once again consisting of three brand new maps and two that IW is bringing back from the first Modern Warfare. The two maps that their bringing back are Vacant and Strike. If it were up to me they should just bring back every single map from CoD 4 and have forty or more maps to play on. Vacant was a map with indoor and outside action, it had a building with a connected garage, long hallways, and an opening in the middle; this was definitely one of my favorites. The second map, Strike, is set in a dusty Arabian landscape with many different long range sniping spots. These old maps will be revamped and enjoyable to the maximum.

IW is also creating three more completely different maps known as, trailer park, fuel, and carnival. From what I’ve listened to on youtube.com, from the creator, the Carnival map sounds like the most fun, it’s just a straight up carnival, not rundown or anything, gamers shooting out of a clowns mouth and on top of rollercoaster’s. The creator also said that trailer park is going to be basically just like a maze; making the gamer search around the map for opponents. I didn’t hear much about the last map, fuel, mostly because if was angry that it was being released to Xbox users again and didn’t want to hear anymore from the guy. These maps will be a little overpriced but definitely worth it they’re expected to come out for Xbox on June 4th and for PS3 about 30 days after.
